FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The leather construction offers better water resistance than standard mesh trainers, but they are not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for intense running?
While they use trail-inspired tooling, they are categorized as trainers designed more for walking, light hiking, and casual wear rather than high-mileage running.
How do I choose the correct size?
These trainers follow standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose the size you wear in most athletic footwear brands.
What is the primary benefit of the TRUSSTIC technology?
It provides arch support and torsional stability, preventing the shoe from twisting unnecessarily while walking.
Are these suitable for hiking?
Yes, they are built on GEL-FUJITRABUCO tooling, making them very capable for light hiking and outdoor walking.
Troubleshooting
Leather looks dull or loses its luster
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to restore moisture and shine to the material.
Outsole loses traction over time
Clean the tread patterns with a soft brush to remove stuck gravel or debris that reduces surface contact.
Shoes feel tight after long wear
Loosen the lacing system across the midfoot to allow for natural foot swelling during the day.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Asics GEL-TRANSCEND FJ trainers, follow these guidelines:
Breaking In: The leather upper may feel slightly stiff out of the box; wear them for short periods initially to allow the material to adapt to your foot shape.
Care Instructions: Wipe the leather surface with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized leather cleaner and avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents. Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from cracking.
Compatibility: These trainers fit true to standard adult UK sizing. Ensure you verify your specific size as Asics trainers are available in half-size increments to provide an optimal fit.
